"The Wasteland" was filmed in Louisiana.

To be honest, it's not because the scenery is beautiful and suitable for TV dramas.

Mainly, Louisiana's tax refunds are as high as twenty-five percent!

In other words, the production cost of 25 million US dollars can save more than 6 million US dollars through tax rebates!

This is the highest tax refund in the United States.

In order to save money, it is understandable that the crew chose to be in Louisiana.

Louisiana belongs to the southern region of the United States, the temperature is very high, and the conditions of the crew are also difficult, after all, the filming place is a distance from the big city, but these can't stop the enthusiastic thoughts of the creators behind the crew.

This is a big American drama led by Chinese!

The preliminary preparations for the crew have begun, and the martial arts training will last for half a month.

After all, it is an action scene, and the fight runs throughout, Yuan Kui is very familiar with a set of processes in North America, and he started training a bunch of tricks and supporting roles according to the set actions.

As for Wu Yan's group, he flew to Los Angeles.

No matter how you say it, you should also meet the director.

……

Xu Hui's trip to North America has both official and private affairs.

Da Mi Mi is pregnant with Liujia, and this matter must be kept secret, otherwise the impact on her career will be too great.

After all, Pao Hui is not ready to marry her...

Finding a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for her to give birth with peace of mind could not be more suitable than a ranch.

He was looking at the ranches for sale in Montana, the price didn't need to be too high, he had no intention of being a rancher, that place was just a place for recuperation, of course, it couldn't be too small, Xu Hui was going to take it as his second home in the future, and he would make waves in his spare time, which was good.

"Boss, do you want to buy ranch?"

Emily saw him looking through the information for sale on the ranch and asked.

Pao Hui didn't raise his head, and replied casually: "Yes, I have this idea." ”

"Why don't you find an agent? he'll screen it for you!"

“…”

Don't discuss such a hidden matter with your agent, right?

“… Oh, you've just arrived in the U.S., and I don't have a real estate agent yet, so I can introduce mine to you!"

“… Thanks, uh, but I don't need it yet..."

It turned out to be a real estate agent...

When, when, when.

There was a knock on the door, and Emily opened the door, it was Wu Yan's group.

"Hello director, I'm Daniel Wu, it's hard to see you..."

Wu Yan's group has some complaints...

After all, he didn't see Xu Hui twice when he flew to the capital...

Xu Hui was a little embarrassed and shook his hand with a smile.

Wu Yan's group is his appointed male number one, although the two have not met, they are also familiar with each other, and they are both beautiful in the prosperous world.

And we also communicated for a long time on the phone.

It's a pity that Lao Mei's aesthetic is too interesting, and Emily doesn't have any intention of kneeling and licking in the face of two big men...

I sat quietly and watched the exchange between the director and the male lead.

Xu Hui asked in Chinese, "... Danny, you should know the general setting of the script very well, is there anything to do with me?"

Wu Yan's Mandarin is very lame, and he always feels as if he has stockings in his mouth: "... I'm hoping to have Stephen on the set, you know, we're all kung fu fans, and with him, I think we're going to do more with less..."

Stephen is Feng Delun, the friend of Wu Yan's group.

In the original time and space, Feng Delun is the director of "Wasteland"...

In fact, the director of the American drama is not very remarkable, and the producer is not him, he just presents the script according to the producer's requirements.

In the first season, he was an action director, and in the second season, he became a director...

To be exact, Feng Delun's talent in directing... is a failure, the "Tai Chi" trilogy directly pitted Huayi for 100 million, and the third part was stillborn; "Rogue League" cost 140 million yuan, and the total box office was close to 200 million, which was a small loss...

However, he himself thinks that he is a very talented director, just like Guo Degang holding "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors" and saying, "Those who have seen it say that they are good, and those who have not seen it will scold bad movies"...

What a special self-confidence!

“… This has to be considered by Mr. Yuankui, and our production funds are a little insufficient..."

Unless he's willing to pull Shu into the crew...

Forget it, it's already a wife, and the fungus is black...

After sending Wu Yan's group away in a few words, Xu Hui continued to look through the information of the ranch.

“… Boss, you don't like him?"

Emily asked suddenly.

Xu Hui put down what he was holding with great interest, turned around and asked, "... Why do you say that?"

"Feeling..."

"Your feeling is not very accurate!"

He just doesn't like von der lun...

Anyone who doesn't have self-knowledge, Xu Hui doesn't like it!

……

At noon the next day, Xu Hui met with Kukdik.

Cook has not had a good time lately, and "Alien Battlefield" has suffered a big loss, which directly caused Disney Pictures to lose nearly $100 million in the first quarter.

Although this data will not make the huge Disney hurt, it is also a big loss.

Cook Dick has always been in charge of the marketing and promotion of live-action films, although he is not the main person in charge of "Alien Battlefield", but if he is jointly and severally responsible, he can't get out of it.

"Xu, "New Dragon Gate Inn" did not meet expectations, and we need to rethink the cooperation between the two sides. ”

The first sentence made Xu Hui a little embarrassed.

How to say it, Huiwen did a bit unauthentic in the matter of "New Dragon Gate".

Disney spent nearly $20 million on promotion around the world, based on its trust in Xu Hui.

As a result, the North American and European box office of this movie is a bit unusual.

In the three weeks of its release in North America, the cumulative box office barely reached 12 million US dollars, and it is estimated that the total box office is likely to stop at 15 million, and the European box office is not good, with a cumulative total of less than 10 million.

Not to mention compared with "The Lion King", even the overseas box office of the first "Once Upon a Time" is more than twice as high as it...

Disney has just experienced the impact of "Alien Battlefield", and it is natural to cry...

"You say, I listen. ”

Disney has always been the main partner of Huiwen in North America.

For the time being, it is unlikely that Huiwen will break off this hard-won partnership.

“… First of all, we will release "The Avengers" next month, the publicity and marketing of Chinese mainland will be handed over to you, and you must ensure its influence in the mainland..."

To put it bluntly, I want to use the distribution ability of Huiwen World.

Most of the imported films are on the path of China Film, and China Film's distribution ability is not bad, but their publicity and promotion ability is indeed worse than Huiwen's, and China Film is dominant, and Hollywood has little say in this regard.

“… How will the mainland's profits be divided?"

"There are two options, first, you can bid to buy out the mainland distribution rights: second..."

"No need, I'll pick the first one, you can make a price!"

"$50 million!"

Cook Dick spoke.

"50 million? Why don't you grab it?"
